The interproximal plaque-removing effect of three different materials (classic dental floss, rafia floss and indian floss) was tested in a group of 80 males (18 years-old). After two weeks all the materials had the same efficacy in removing the bacterial plaque, with significant reduction in interproximal plaque index. According to an opinion inquiry the rafia floss was the most comfortable material to use and has the lowest cost as well.
在一组80名18岁男性中测试了三种不同材料（传统牙线、拉菲草牙线和印度牙线）的邻面菌斑清除效果。两周后，所有材料在清除细菌菌斑方面具有相同的功效，邻面菌斑指数显著降低。根据一项意见调查，拉菲草牙线是使用起来最舒适的材料，而且成本也最低。
